Randolph Legacy, Generation 5.3!
pixel_trade!! Generation 3 spouse, Violet Laroux, is simplicist's, and Generation 4 spouse, Emmett Wilder, is imaginepageant's.
Last time, Emmett was all emo, because being an uncontrollable Pleasure sim bites. Eros became a child that really resembled his father. Aphrodite gave birth to a third son, Deimos. Then they bought a fishtank because Eros wanted one, and everyone made fun faces at the fish. Violet was an awesome grandma, and Deimos became a toddler...and the first Gen 5 kid with the XD eyes. Aphrodite's fourth pregnancy resulted in her first daughter, Tyche. Anteros grew into a Knowledge-oriented teen who liked girls. And boys. Apollo came to visit and take care of Tyche and make me want to move him back in. Tyche became a toddler and another kid with elf ears and Emmett's eyeshape. Deimos became a child, and Aphrodite was left with the beginnings of her fifth pregnancy to enjoy.
So, I'm sure some of it is the growing tribe, but I think the fact that Aphrodite is constantly pregnant has resulted in constant food production. I'm surprised the kids AREN'T fatter.
Now, I know you must be disappointed that your birthday was on a weekend, honey, but don't worry...you'll be going to school like your brothers, before you know it!
Deimos looks thrilled. Want to know my nickname for Deimos? The little shit.
Congrats, dad, I think you have more than one friend!
But they all live in the same house with him, so does that even count?
Aphrodite has decided to express the same appreciation that I hold for Anteros and his cleanly ways.
Whoops, what's with his face? I fixed my alien default so it wasn't a whopping SEVEN MEGS and I had to get him to a mirror to give him back a face.
There we go. Shiny Happy Randolph Smustle Party--the easiest way to cheer up a sim that's been pregnant since the instant she got home from Uni!
I usually leave the chores and pray that Anteros does them, but these weeds started from ONE water balloon ages ago, and I was getting disgusted with them.
<33 Anteros.
He cleans. Constantly.
Even Aphrodite's morning sickness can not keep him from his scrubbing bubbles.
...oh no. I'm not sure I'm down with autonomous cooking.
IS THERE NO RELATIVE IN THIS FAMILY WHO WILL NOT PILFER THE PAPER?
On the plus side, Anteros promptly got his dinner out of the oven when it was done. On the minus side, it means he dropped the trash he was taking out on the floor in order to do so. :/
Eros is too enthralled by his fish to notice the stench building behind him.
I just document these so we know where we stand on the gestation, you know.
YOU, SIR, ARE THE ONE WHO PUT IT THERE.
He does clean it up, because he is awesome, and then reads smut in the same room as his grandma and kid brother. ~Awkward~
Oh, weary penguin, how the weight of the world must be on your shoulders. Eating fishes, conversing with snowmen. If only my ISBI heir, who merely has to contend with multiple children, multiple singleton pregnancies, and a moronic husband could understand your burdens.
Deimos doesn't really do anything productive.
AUGHHHHHHHHHH!
...what?
It's not you, Heph, it's the spectre of your mother jumping out from behind you.
How come I never get to see a ghost, that would be so cool!
Because they wouldn't do it if they thought you liked it, Ant.
I don't get it. EVERYONE wants to take care of Tyche.
OH THANK YOU I LOVE FOOD.
Hello. Send help. I've been trapped here ever since I married her, with little to no outside contact.
EMMETT. You have a job, you go to work, you're not stuck at home barefoot and pregnant, you know!
You two couldn't play anywhere else? It had to be next to your sleeping sister.
I will be a ghost, and I will haunt your ass!
You're still dead, though. HA-ha!
So, Ant, honey, do you think you could be a little happier with the news this time? You seem to love your brothers and sister, isn't it nice to know you will have another one soon?
I just don't understand why you have to constantly tempt fate. You have many happy, healthy children. It makes us feel inadequate, you know, that we're not enough to satisfy you.
Your pregnant daughter, who is very tired, would like to sleep and you two are doing THIS in her bed! You have your own bed. I understand the concept confuses you, since you haven't used it in years!
Speaking of beds: Little shit, you has one.
Mommy, this tastes horrible!
Shut up, Deimos, Mom is tired and pregnant, and she still cooked a meal for us. Go eat a muffin if you don't want this.
<3 Anteros.
I know, Violet! EVERYONE takes care of Tyche! Aphrodite doesn't even need to!
Emmett cleared the table. I was just starting to wonder how interesting a montage of success with a tagline like "Aphrodite Randolph is Surrounded by Competance" could ever be.
OKAY. AMENDMENT TO PREVIOUS CAPSLOCK EXCLAMATION.
DOES EVERY FUCKING SIM IN THIS NEIGHBORHOOD HAVE SOME SORT OF DEEP-SEATED URGE TO STEAL NEWSPAPERS.
FUCK THEM ALL.
Very touching, Emmett.
Unfortunately, his ~look of concern~ was prescient.
I don't understand! She was low on energy and entertainment. And she was already in BED, for god's sake.
I am not going back in that house for a loooooong time.
Look, your wife might be a basket case right now, but she needs you!
I am not going to reimpregnate her!
With Aphrodite distraught, thank GOD for Violet.
Even if Tyche wants her mommy sometimes, Violet is so competant. I wish every family had a grandma Violet. :D
Aphrodite is trying to get her energy back up, however, it must be hard having nightmares about Neville Spicoli.
...I don't even know what happened here. I do a round of the household to check on everyone, and Hephaestus is sleeping on his feet. There are plenty of beds. So fail.
But Aph. The kids need to do their homework. The younger ones HAVE to keep their grades up, and Anteros is a Knowledge sim. He kinda needs to go to college or he'll be EMO.
I'm so happy that you were actually born!
...um, Mom. Thanks?
You, too, Ant. I'm so happy you managed to find your way out from my poison womb.
Mom, you're starting to scare the younger ones. And me.
OH HAY.
It's Eros's birthday.
Hopefully, this'll lift Aph's spirits a bit. Don't know why his brother becoming a teenager is so shocking to Anteros.
Oh, hello Emmett Jr.
I can't help but think this has something to do with Aphrodite's current issues.
Aaaaand orientation.
Yes, that was an extreme makeover you spied in that little pop-up. I don't know what got into me, but I like it!
It looks like my successful growth has cheered Mom up a little, right?
Yes, because of one tragedy involving your uterus, let's not have any concern for the kids that you have already! Thanks.
I'm not a hundred percent sure, but I think this means we have a kid that doesn't want to be in their underwear all the time. :D :D
I had to unlock the ten kid want when she lost the last baby, but I have a feeling this is the only thing that's going to get her back to normal. Odd factoid: Every time I had Aphrodite try to get pregnant, she HAS.
HELLO! NO ONE HAS ANY CONCERN FOR THE FACT THAT THIS HOUSE HAS NOT BEEN ANY FUN LATELY.
You have really bad timing, Deimos.
Oh god, Violet's life bar is almost full, what are we going to do with pregnant Aph and no Violet? *wibble*
Violet just looks concerned. We'll be really careful with Aphrodite this time, promise. Anteros and Eros can help the others fend for themselves.
Oh god, she's pregnant again, what have I done?
Emmett is just being overdramatic. Again.
Are you trying to get yourself taken away by the social worker?
Shut-up, stupid-head. I'm finally doing something fun for once!
Like hell, Aphrodite is going to work. No way. She's got like 12 days of maternity leave built up.
I'm confident that Anteros won't go the way of Hera as an eldest Knowledge sim, simply because he's so win.
Hey, Grandma, don't worry about a thing, I've got the feeding covered.
Dad, get out of the way, I need to feed Tyche!
So, you see, if you get taken away by the social worker, you will likely get stuck in a house full of people even crazier than our family. And they will be much poorer than us.
Emmett, for fuck's sake, you are an adult who can prepare food. Stop blocking the fridge so the others can get something for the little ones who CAN'T.
Yes, Violet, I contemplated ways to kill him, but I need a live spouse to get Aphrodite's LTW.
...and she's way too attached to the spouse she's already got. For some reason.
Aph!
What did I do to deserve all of this? I like to think I'm a good person!
D:
So what's for dinner, now, honey?
...seriously? Jello, Emmett. Jello. It will be Jello for breakfast. Jello for dinner. I am not touching that stove until I have this baby safe in my arms. You can do whatever you want if that doesn't make you happy.
With all the problems we have, you have to go and break that dishwasher now, too?
EMMETT. YOU HAVE TWO. HUNDRED. THOUSAND. DOLLARS. CASH. You can buy a new dishwasher every time that one breaks if you want. The repairman is cheaper, and he is very nearly a bi-weekly visitor. No reason to lecture your harried wife. >:|
Wow. You must really want either me or the baby to die!
I love you both, seriously, that's why I'm so stressed.
I guess that's something.
So, on top of all that, Aph lights the kitchen on fire with a pot of chili. I don't even know what the fuck, anymore.
And, not to mention, Hephaestus, your other daughter seems to be a kleptomaniac.
I wonder if Tyche will ever know what it's like to be a good student.
It should be all right. No matter what, this is Aphrodite's last pregnancy.
I'm seriously surprised she grew up well, but I think that's pretty much thanks to Violet and some playtime with Aphrodite to get Aphrodite's fun up.
...I think someone is disappointed in her father figure.
He stood in front of the fridge when I was starving. What the heck?
I gave her a slightly-darker blonde hair and I decided she needed some facial defining. TA DA.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO /vader
But the elders in all the other neighborhoods average four-five days longer than this!
HOURGLASS EMPTY. THIS MEANS YOU COME NOW.
What about MY pain, game? What about that?
And so begins the emo of the entire family, not just Aphrodite.
But Dad, I didn't knew you loved Grandma that much!
Who's going to diaper the new baby when it comes?!
And then he said 'Who's going to diaper the new baby when it comes?' Why can't Dad ever be resp-respONSIBLE!
It'll be all right, honey. I'm still here.
But WE need you!
...wouldn't noogieing someone with a shaved head just FEEL weird?
I'm honestly surprised Tyche was even moderately functional. Violet was like her mommy after Aphrodite had the miscarriage.
The love of my life is gone! Why couldn't we have had more dream dates!
Eros, I think we need to make our escape.
I think our family is a bunch of nutjobs.
Play with me, Deimos?
Nope. See this horse? More interesting than you.
The horse can't throw a bal--
NEIIIIIIIIIIIIGHHHHHH CAN'T HEAR YOU OVER HORSE BEING AWESOME.
:/ Baby five, I hope.
HI DEIMOS. HOW WAS SCHOOL? DO YOU WANT HELP WITH YOUR HOMEWORK? SOMETHING FOR DINNER BESIDES JELLO? NO THANKS MOMMY, I'D RATHER EAT JELLO AND BE IGNORED.
I'd love to help him with his homework, but I can't see it over my large pregnant belly!
Aphrodite? Deal.
Why can't all the children be as easy to keep happy as Eros and his fishtank over there?
Pan, actually exercising and not swiping the newspaper! Bravo.
I can just barely see the chat window from here.
SEND HELP --EMMETT
Stop that!
Anteros?
I'm sure Mom will feel up to helping us study after the baby is born. We can manage a bit longer on our own. ...I hope.
So, I hear their father is totally useless.
The boys bring home Arielle Lutzen and Ciaran Bean-Sidhe.
Eros makes a beeline for his fishies, and the two guests, a beeline for each other. THAT'S NOT WHAT YOU ARE FOR.
Whelp, Eros, I'm thinking I don't have a shot with either one of them.
Ant, I think one of the fish laid eggs!
...how interesting.
I try my best to get the teens some socializing/action, but sometimes...there's only so much you can do. LOL
Maybe he'll calm the fuck down now.
Mommy, my report card?
Good job, I've got to help Ant with his homework now.
...fine.
Aphrodite, can't you see what you're doing?
Okay, so that's trigonometry. Anything else I can help you with?
Yeah, tell the PDA-fest to go home.
Can do, Anteros!!
HEPH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I DON'T CARE HOW SMALL THE ROOM IS, YOUR ASS IS MINE. THE ZOMBIES WILL HULA OUT HERE.
Wait, someone actually liked Deimos?
AWESOME.
Here lies Generation 3. :(
Money? We don't need money. We need caretakers and they are DEAD.
I want my mommy.
*cringes* She's a bit indisposed, still, sorry.
Don't think too badly, Deimos was on a hunger strike. I promise, there was plenty of "Call to Meal" action going on.
Jello is better than no food or an unhappy Mommy.
I agree, Tyche!
Oh, Violet!
YOU BITCH!
I gasped. She loved Tyche!
Are you trying to kill her? Really?
Anteros, dear, is that a puddle?
Well, I needed to have the full hands-on ghost scare experience, you know.
And it did encourage your father to do something productive!
Good times for all.
...if you say so.
Don't mind Tyche, she's just smustling.
It's TIME. nomorewalkingoneggshells
In for a penny, in for a pound.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
...seven. SEVEN ISBI KIDS.
HAHAHAHAHA
Pardon me. We have a girl, with Emmett's eyecolor, light skin, and blonde hair. Harmonia, named for the goddess of Harmony (duh) and Concord.
Look, Em, we have a beautiful baby girl.
Are you happy now?
...I'll be happier when I'm finished going through labor.
...oh crap.
OH LIKE SHE NEEDED MORE KIDS TO NOT PAY ATTENTION TO. WHY THE HELL AM I EVEN HERE?!
It's another girl! Alien skin, alien eyes, and red hair! Meet Adrestia, refered to as "She whom none can escape." She liked to hang out with brothers Deimos, who you already know is the god of dread....and one more...
Phobos, the god of fear. Fittingly he has similar features to Deimos. Blue eyes, red hair, and skin a wee bit darker than a light tone.
How are you feeling, Mom? I'm making a nice hot breakfast to celebrate!
<33 Eros
My life sucks!
...Apple turnover, Dei?
Like that will make my life suck less!
Apple turnovers make everything suck less!
You better enjoy your fucking triplets, Aphrodite.
So, I thought about it, and I want Aphrodite to be an adult a little bit longer because there's no way I don't want the triplets to be heir contenders, so I don't want a chance of her dying before they're properly reared. I've been avoiding asp rewards in this legacy, but I hardly ever use Elixir of life as it is, so I didn't think it was a bad decision.
Not too much juice, she still has to be an elder before she can reach her LTW. And Emmett still has to be alive for that to happen. Emmett didn't get any Elixir. Even if I hadn't used his ONE command (or decided to fudge it), he's not high enough aspiration to use the thing.
This does not mean she will be having any more children. I'm dead serious. No more.
I completely understand. Ant was about to graduate high school, so she had to focus on his grades first.
It's almost scary how nonplussed Anteros and Eros are about everything. It's because all of the bad mojo got saved for Deimos.
If grandma and grandpa had to die, at least they left us inheritances, right?
Um...that's kinda a touchy subject to bring up around Deimos.
Nuh-uh. If you want to make me mad, we can talk about how this berry salad is still not a hot meal.
I can't believe they are still keeping track of missed assignments from fifth grade.
At least we'll have it finished quickly, right?
...still weird.
I just knew he was going to snap someday!
Eros, Deimos snaps EVERY day.
I knew Tyche shouldn't have mentioned grandma and grandpa!
He just looks so proud of himself. Little shit.
I'm going to explain to him that, as part-aliens, we are a minority and should therefore stick together.
Are you going to make that face?
Well, he's a kid and you have to explain things in a way they understand--
Ant, you want him to put you on his hit list for when he's larger?
Deimos better watch his back.
I never did nothing to you! You big jerk!
Crying, Deimos, seriously?
You haven't noticed that my big brother has severe emotional issues?
You haven't noticed that adding to them is probably not going to help?
I thought I'd get him back for sure this time!
It's not fair, I didn't even do anything in the first place, you would think I so HAD it the second time.
NO MORE ATTACKING TYCHE!
I'm betting that's what Tyche's thinking, too.
Wait, how the hell did he grow up well?
He really, really wants his mom to help him with homework and...this afternoon, she did.
I...what?
I'm surprised Deimos is interested in anyone.
Here we go. I made Deimos look like a douche.
He's a good looking douche, but a douche.
No, no I can't kick his ass, I'm over eighteen, you'll have to do it.
He's still in the room, you two!
So, I hate this family, too. We should stick together, Dad.
BABY TOSSING TIME
Oh jeez, rest of Gen 5 has just been ADRESTI-OWNED!
Or maybe not. She has elf ears and XD eyes, but she might be a facial clone of Aphrodite. Woe.
Harmonia is...interesting.
No elf ears. She may end up growing up similar-looking to Tyche. They've got the same nose.
Here's Phobos. Interesting, this result. Well, I don't like the clothes.
One of the things Deimos has going for him is XD eyes and a combination of genetics. Phobos happens to look a lot like Deimos, down to the XD eyes and lack of elf ears.
But he already seems so much more pleasant!
Ish okay. I has bottle.
Ish not good bottle but I ish not that hungwy.
I sure somewon will find me a better won lat---BLEAUGH.

Long update is LONG. I'm sorry. It became a bit more interesting as time went on, I must say. I am so torn, in general, on thoughts of the kids because I don't know that Anteros and Eros are the most interesting looking of the kids, but I really appreciate them and their personalities! Anteros is done with high school and, by my rules, can be moved to college now. But...I might keep him around for a few days if he continues to be useful around the house. Things are going to get crazier around the Randolph house before they get better, especially with Violet gone. Such a crushing blow. :(
If you want the reduced-size Pixie Galaxies alien default, I uploaded it here, along with the overlay I use for my (nonexistant as of yet) vampires, similarly reduced. I also made a sim Bella Swan for some reason.
I will probably continue on my Deline-fest after this.
Last time, Emmett was all emo, because being an uncontrollable Pleasure sim bites. Eros became a child that really resembled his father. Aphrodite gave birth to a third son, Deimos. Then they bought a fishtank because Eros wanted one, and everyone made fun faces at the fish. Violet was an awesome grandma, and Deimos became a toddler...and the first Gen 5 kid with the XD eyes.

Nope. See this horse? More interesting than you.
The horse can't throw a bal--
NEIIIIIIIIIIIIGHHHHHH CAN'T HEAR YOU OVER HORSE BEING AWESOME.
:/ Baby five, I hope.
HI DEIMOS. HOW WAS SCHOOL? DO YOU WANT HELP WITH YOUR HOMEWORK? SOMETHING FOR DINNER BESIDES JELLO? NO THANKS MOMMY, I'D RATHER EAT JELLO AND BE IGNORED.
I'd love to help him with his homework, but I can't see it over my large pregnant belly!
Aphrodite? Deal.
Why can't all the children be as easy to keep happy as Eros and his fishtank over there?
Pan, actually exercising and not swiping the newspaper! Bravo.
I can just barely see the chat window from here.
SEND HELP --EMMETT
Stop that!
Anteros?
I'm sure Mom will feel up to helping us study after the baby is born. We can manage a bit longer on our own. ...I hope.
So, I hear their father is totally useless.
The boys bring home Arielle Lutzen and Ciaran Bean-Sidhe.
Eros makes a beeline for his fishies, and the two guests, a beeline for each other. THAT'S NOT WHAT YOU ARE FOR.
Whelp, Eros, I'm thinking I don't have a shot with either one of them.
Ant, I think one of the fish laid eggs!
...how interesting.
I try my best to get the teens some socializing/action, but sometimes...there's only so much you can do. LOL
Maybe he'll calm the fuck down now.
Mommy, my report card?
Good job, I've got to help Ant with his homework now.
...fine.
Aphrodite, can't you see what you're doing?
Okay, so that's trigonometry. Anything else I can help you with?
Yeah, tell the PDA-fest to go home.
Can do, Anteros!!
HEPH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I DON'T CARE HOW SMALL THE ROOM IS, YOUR ASS IS MINE. THE ZOMBIES WILL HULA OUT HERE.
Wait, someone actually liked Deimos?
AWESOME.
Here lies Generation 3. :(
Money? We don't need money. We need caretakers and they are DEAD.
I want my mommy.
*cringes* She's a bit indisposed, still, sorry.
Don't think too badly, Deimos was on a hunger strike. I promise, there was plenty of "Call to Meal" action going on.
Jello is better than no food or an unhappy Mommy.
I agree, Tyche!
Oh, Violet!
YOU BITCH!
I gasped. She loved Tyche!
Are you trying to kill her? Really?
Anteros, dear, is that a puddle?
Well, I needed to have the full hands-on ghost scare experience, you know.
And it did encourage your father to do something productive!
Good times for all.
...if you say so.
Don't mind Tyche, she's just smustling.
It's TIME. nomorewalkingoneggshells
In for a penny, in for a pound.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
...seven. SEVEN ISBI KIDS.
HAHAHAHAHA
Pardon me. We have a girl, with Emmett's eyecolor, light skin, and blonde hair. Harmonia, named for the goddess of Harmony (duh) and Concord.
Look, Em, we have a beautiful baby girl.
Are you happy now?
...I'll be happier when I'm finished going through labor.
...oh crap.
OH LIKE SHE NEEDED MORE KIDS TO NOT PAY ATTENTION TO. WHY THE HELL AM I EVEN HERE?!
It's another girl! Alien skin, alien eyes, and red hair! Meet Adrestia, refered to as "She whom none can escape." She liked to hang out with brothers Deimos, who you already know is the god of dread....and one more...
Phobos, the god of fear. Fittingly he has similar features to Deimos. Blue eyes, red hair, and skin a wee bit darker than a light tone.
How are you feeling, Mom? I'm making a nice hot breakfast to celebrate!
<33 Eros
My life sucks!
...Apple turnover, Dei?
Like that will make my life suck less!
Apple turnovers make everything suck less!
You better enjoy your fucking triplets, Aphrodite.
So, I thought about it, and I want Aphrodite to be an adult a little bit longer because there's no way I don't want the triplets to be heir contenders, so I don't want a chance of her dying before they're properly reared. I've been avoiding asp rewards in this legacy, but I hardly ever use Elixir of life as it is, so I didn't think it was a bad decision.
Not too much juice, she still has to be an elder before she can reach her LTW. And Emmett still has to be alive for that to happen. Emmett didn't get any Elixir. Even if I hadn't used his ONE command (or decided to fudge it), he's not high enough aspiration to use the thing.
This does not mean she will be having any more children. I'm dead serious. No more.
I completely understand. Ant was about to graduate high school, so she had to focus on his grades first.
It's almost scary how nonplussed Anteros and Eros are about everything. It's because all of the bad mojo got saved for Deimos.
If grandma and grandpa had to die, at least they left us inheritances, right?
Um...that's kinda a touchy subject to bring up around Deimos.
Nuh-uh. If you want to make me mad, we can talk about how this berry salad is still not a hot meal.
I can't believe they are still keeping track of missed assignments from fifth grade.
At least we'll have it finished quickly, right?
...still weird.
I just knew he was going to snap someday!
Eros, Deimos snaps EVERY day.
I knew Tyche shouldn't have mentioned grandma and grandpa!
He just looks so proud of himself. Little shit.
I'm going to explain to him that, as part-aliens, we are a minority and should therefore stick together.
Are you going to make that face?
Well, he's a kid and you have to explain things in a way they understand--
Ant, you want him to put you on his hit list for when he's larger?
Deimos better watch his back.
I never did nothing to you! You big jerk!
Crying, Deimos, seriously?
You haven't noticed that my big brother has severe emotional issues?
You haven't noticed that adding to them is probably not going to help?
I thought I'd get him back for sure this time!
It's not fair, I didn't even do anything in the first place, you would think I so HAD it the second time.
NO MORE ATTACKING TYCHE!
I'm betting that's what Tyche's thinking, too.
Wait, how the hell did he grow up well?
He really, really wants his mom to help him with homework and...this afternoon, she did.
I...what?
I'm surprised Deimos is interested in anyone.
Here we go. I made Deimos look like a douche.
He's a good looking douche, but a douche.
No, no I can't kick his ass, I'm over eighteen, you'll have to do it.
He's still in the room, you two!
So, I hate this family, too. We should stick together, Dad.
BABY TOSSING TIME
Oh jeez, rest of Gen 5 has just been ADRESTI-OWNED!
Or maybe not. She has elf ears and XD eyes, but she might be a facial clone of Aphrodite. Woe.
Harmonia is...interesting.
No elf ears. She may end up growing up similar-looking to Tyche. They've got the same nose.
Here's Phobos. Interesting, this result. Well, I don't like the clothes.
One of the things Deimos has going for him is XD eyes and a combination of genetics. Phobos happens to look a lot like Deimos, down to the XD eyes and lack of elf ears.
But he already seems so much more pleasant!
Ish okay. I has bottle.
Ish not good bottle but I ish not that hungwy.
I sure somewon will find me a better won lat---BLEAUGH.

Long update is LONG. I'm sorry. It became a bit more interesting as time went on, I must say. I am so torn, in general, on thoughts of the kids because I don't know that Anteros and Eros are the most interesting looking of the kids, but I really appreciate them and their personalities! Anteros is done with high school and, by my rules, can be moved to college now. But...I might keep him around for a few days if he continues to be useful around the house. Things are going to get crazier around the Randolph house before they get better, especially with Violet gone. Such a crushing blow. :(
If you want the reduced-size Pixie Galaxies alien default, I uploaded it here, along with the overlay I use for my (nonexistant as of yet) vampires, similarly reduced. I also made a sim Bella Swan for some reason.
I will probably continue on my Deline-fest after this.
